ORISSA, India — A dozen members of Bajrang Dal barged into the prayer meeting of an independent church, chased the Christians out and seriously injured a junior pastor. Pastor Krishna Chandra Devra told Open Doors News that the Christians in the meeting ran toward the forest, but Junior Pastor Mantu Nayak fell into a ditch, where the attackers beat him so severely that he required hospitalization. He suffered injuries to the head and fractures in both arms.
Police registered a First Information Report against the attackers, arrested eight of them and continue to search for the remaining four.
